How do adult stem cells differ from embryonic stem cells?

Answer:

A. Adult stem cells have unipotency, and embryonic stem cells have pluripotency.

Explanation:

The basic difference between a stem cell and a totipotent cell is that a stem cell has the potential to regenerate itself apart from producing other cells which are alike, for example hematopoietic stem cell. In contrast to this, a totipotent cell has the potential to develop into an entire organism but it cannot regenerate itself, for example zygote. Zygote can produce the entire organism but once zygote divides to form an embryo it can never become a zygote again.

In the early embryonic stages in mammals when the zygote divides to form 8 celled morula, each of the cell of morula retain its power of regeneration of an entire individual if allowed to develop separately but with advancement in development, the stem cells start to loose their potential to develop into the entire individual and they are confined to only pluripotency which means that they can only form an embryo and some parts of extra embryonic membranes not all of them.

Further when gastrula stage arrives, the power of cells to regenerate reduces even more and become restricted to only multipotency.

In the end, when the entire individual is developed the adult stem cells remain the only cells which have power of regeneration and they have unipotency which means that they can regenerate only one type of tissue. For example, skin cells are unipotent cells which can only regenerate skin.

Design an experiment where you would determine how quickly lactaid works to break down milk sugar
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Gather 11 Cups And then fill each cup with 5 ounces of whole milk, next is take the first cup to add a known quantity of lactaid. As A Control take another cup and do not add any lactaid. After 1 Minute, pour a known quantity of benedicts into cups of milk. Record the colour ( blue is the least amount of glucose progressing to green, then yellow, orange, red and brick/red brown). Take another cup of milk and then add the lactaid and wait for 5 minutes... Next is add the benedicts. Record the color, repeat steps 7 - 10 adding 5 minute each time until there are no cups left ( 15 minutes, 20,25,30,35,40,45) .

For the last is graph the data and forms conclusions ..

  • This is the right answer.

Answer:

1. Radiometric dating

2. Relative dating is used to determine the age of fossils or rock layers by by comparing it to similar rocks and fossils of known ages.

3. The youngest rock layers are at the top and the oldest are at the bottom, which is according to the law of superposition.

4. Tribolite and Pecten fossils

Fossils are used to determine the ages of rock layers. Index fossils are the most useful in determining relative aging. Index fossils are of organisms that lived for a short period of time. An index fossil allows a scientist to determine the age of the rock it is in. So if they are found in a particular age, it means they belong in that age.

5. Scientists commonly use radioactive dating methods by using radioactive decay cloak of certain elements such as potassium or carbon to date fossils or rocks.

6. Law of superposition because in terms of finding the age of the rock as an object, all that needs to be identified are the layers of the rock.

7. The nuclear decay of radioactive elements are a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion which makes it a useful tool for determining the exact age of fossils or rocks.
